Dear Mystery Writer, (--wink--)

This is a smart, WISE, and lovely piece of writing. I like how you are able to look at these different family members and see their good traits and maybe, their not-so-good ones. None of us is perfect and we'd rather be seen with a bit of grace. Thanks and good luck!

Very nice writing about memories! You brought us through so many time spans and the history of your family. Your picture was there for a reason and you fulfilled that reason admirably!!

It's all so sad, I'm glad I had a chance to right the ship, my mum and dad were divorced, I never met both my grandfathers, one died before I was born, the other had another family somewhere. We all have a chance to lead our children set an example, the good thing is you had a chance because of your mother's wonderful example, you saw love up close, the forgiveness and decision to see how love works close up. Beautifully written, we can all right the ship for the sake of others to come after us, that's sacrificial love, which is the only real love there is, well done, blessings Roy

    Dear Roy, your review is beautiful! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. You are exactly right. I am so grateful for my mother. I have no complaints. We just do the best we can as we travel along this journey, even when life seems cruel and unfair. We sure do learn a lot!

In this Biographical Non-Fiction you have tried to speak about the relation, somehow one had with other, and you could never even guess or understand the perspectives in courses of living; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

    Thank you, Pookietoo! So great to hear from you. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story. I hoped the "lessons" would come across okay. I tried to pattern them after my Grandma's famous saying, "You just never know." We just do the best we can as we travel this mortal journey! Sending lots of well wishes to you.
